I had a triple surprise from the postlady today...3 boxes of yarn goodies! First, I received my order of 2 skeins of Regia Bamboo, 2 skeins of Apple Laine Aqua (both for socks), and size 2 rosewood dpns from The Loopy Ewe. I love shopping there...the owner, Sheri, always sends a personal written message along, and samples of their yarns, along with printed cardstock needle inventory cards, and all the goodies are individually wrapped in tissue paper, so it's like your birthday whenever receiving a box from there!Second, my first shipment of The Sweet Sheep Sock club arrived today, with a skein of Sweet Socks in the Spring Tulip colourway, along with a sheep stitchmarker from KnitWit Momma, and 2 sample sizes of Soak wool wash.
LASTLY, I received a box of purple goodies from Julie P. in NY for the FCS2 swap! It's absolutely a wonderful spoiler box of goodies! Let's see: a milk chocolate "K", 2 packages of Amethyst glass beads with flowers, a pair of cool Rave knitting needles, a beautiful purple butterfly votive candle holder, Yankee grape scented candles, TWO skeins of Paton's "That's Purple" merino wool to felt with, a big container of Knit Wash, Wysteria wool roving, AND a chocolate rose in a chocolate vase! Oh, and a hilarious card about Reality vs. Martha Stewart gardening. Thank you, Julie!
In other knitting matters, I've just about finished the cuff of THE second sock in the Austermann Step (see previous post)...and that's about it here in NH. :)
